A NEW LAW.

Commissioner Sparks has suggested to
the secretary of the interior, and the law
division has it under consideration, to
make the term of residence on pre-emp-
ton entry twelve months instead of six
months as at present. The term of resi-
dence upon an entry is fixed by depart
ment regulation, although an impression
seems to prebail that it is a statutory re-
quirement The law simply commands
that the presumption entryman shall
prove up in twelve months, and the
limit of residence has been fixed by the
department The commissioner is of the
opinion that a longer residence will mil
itate greatly against fraud and exact
more of the entrymen in this way of
showing good faith in his intention to
make the tract his home The matter is
being thoroughly discussed by the assis-
tant attorney generals Office, which has
not yet signifed its views upon the mat
ter.-Inter-O Ocean.

seems to be tendency to less flow of
water in the streams. This seems to be a
tendency to less flow of water in the
streams. This seems to show a retention
of moisture in the soil and consequent
increase of springs.
While the investigation applies more
particularly to the eastern part of Kansas,
because we have no long series of records
either in western Kansas or Texas, yet
from comparison of rainfall records
during the past fifteen years, we find that
the fluctuations in these regions do not
material differ from those in the regions
do not materially differ from those in the
region here considered The same prin-
clples here enunciated apply to Texas,
except as modified by less cultivation of
the soil and a less covering of the surface
by Vegetation. Farmers in these regions
need fear no permanent change in the
climate for the present at least.
1t is to be hoped that increased accura-
cy in observation and larger number of
observers reporting rainfall, clouds, and
humidity will be had, so that in the near
future we may have still better basis
for deductions regarding these very i'm
portant elements. There should be in
tc.i:gon; voluntary observers in every
county reporting to each state weather
service"

The Sand Hills.

The word s'sand-hills'' as applied
to portion of country lying on the north
side of our county, is misnomer, and
coveys wrong impression every time
when spoken of to parties who are not
acquainted with the facts. The impress
sion a stranger gets from hearing the
words spoken is that they are barren
and nonproductive, not even grass
growing upon them or if it does only in
small punches here and there, when the
grass is growing thick all over them,
and not only does grass grow, but everv-
thing else that has ever been planted
in them. We are of the opinion that
the sand hills will be as good if not the
best portion of the country in a few
years, either as grain growing or pro-
ducing district. So far as they have been
tested, they prove the above assumption.
For the growing Of all kinds of vege-
tables and vines they take the lead.
The largest and sweetest melons pump
kius, sweet potatoes and cucumbers have
grown on them, and they possess those
qualities of soil that are necessary for
growing of all kinds of grapes, and if
the people who own farms in this Sec
ton of the country will test them on
this line, we believe they will be fully
awarded, not only in abundant but
quick returns. The grape is one of the
best paying as we'll as the most priced
of all fruits, and the warm, sunny slopes
of these hills are admirably adapted to
the growing of vines. The soil is soft
warm and rich and retains its moisture
as scarcely any other soil will, all of
which is indispensable in fruit growing
We would modestly suggest that this
department Of agriculture be tried by
our farmer, not only vine growing but
fruit of all kinds such as peaches,
prunes pears, plums, apricots, apples,
cherries and all kinds Of berries, should
be experimental with, all of which are
more or less adapted to this climate.

Commissioner Sparks of the general
land office, has received a letter from
a public land entry man in Eastern Col
orado, stating that the drouth has
already damaged the crops in that Sec
ton, and that if it continues must
longer the crops will be a complete
failure; that insects have destroyed the
growing vegetables, and that there is
absolutely no feed for stock. The
entryman states that his neighbores are
forced to leave their holdings to obtain
the necessities of life, and asks if this alb
sence will operate to defeat their claim
when final proof is offered. The COM
missioner's answer is important as indi-
eating the policy Of the general land
Office with respect to these cases, of
which 1t is stated there are large num-
Der in different parts of the west. The
commissioner says: ''The distressing
situation you have mentioned appeals
to my strongest sympathies in favor Of
actual settlars on the public domain who
are suffering from drouth and loss of
crops, and whatever relief may be pos
sible, within the discretion of this office
will be extended to enable them to pre-
serve their claims. Settlers who are
obliged to leave their claims on account
Of the drouth should be perpared to ac-
count for their absence from this cause
when they make final proof but in such
cases proof should not be offered until
the law has been fully complied with
after their return to the land. An en-
| forced absence on account of climatic
reasons will not imperil the claims, if
the fact is established when proof is
made, and if proof is not attempted to
be made in advance of the time when
residence, improvement and cultivation
are required by law it can be satisfac-
tcrily shown"

The Kansas farmer has great reason
to rejoice over his corn fields, and even
his very moderate crop Of hay, for
Illinois is suffering from drouth of
great lenght. Through lrage section
of the state the pastures look as if
scorched by fire; grain is light, meadows
very short, and corn, while widely plant

half that heighth.
